The lecture videos are online.[1] And if you're in Boston, are open to the public (though arrive early for the line, and samples often don't make it to the back of the room).

Teaching science and cooking together seems an underutilized opportunity. There's McGee's On Food and Cooking, but... hopefully there's something better now?

There's Cooking for Geeks (Jeff Potter from O'Reilly) which is pretty good although McGee is probably still the bible. Some of Alton Brown's is also pretty good.

TBH, a lot of Home Economics translated into more modern times and a more scientific basis would probably make for pretty good curriculum additions.
